Selected
clingstone(s) (peaches)
συμπύρηνος -η -ο [simbírinos] E5 : (βοτ.) για καρπό του οποίου ο πυρήνας είναι ενωμένος με τη σάρκα: Συμπύρηνα ροδάκινα. [λόγ. συμ- (δες συν-) πυρην- (δες πυρήνας) -ος]
Most types of peaches are "freestone" or "clingstone," but some are "semi-freestone." The "stone" is the pit in the middle of the peach. The pit in a "freestone" peach separates easily from the fruit, while the pit in a "clingstone" peach is firmly attached to the fruit. Most fresh peaches available in your produce department are "freestone," so they are easy to eat. "Clingstone" peaches are often used to make canned peaches

Note from asker:
| 'Clingstone' and especially 'cling' looked so familiar, as soon as I saw your answer! 'Cling peaches' was just a (nonsensical) collocation that became very familiar, many years ago. The peaches that came out of tins were for some unknown reason called 'cling peaches'. |
